We’re looking for a TA who specializes in keeping people productive – providing tools that help artists work faster and making sure that the data we need gets from the artists into the game in the cleanest, quickest and most reliable ways.
The core of the job will be driving our Maya Python toolkit, ensuring that the artists have fast, reliable and uncomplicated ways to get their work into the game. This includes writing tools, tending to exporters, and working closely with the engineering team to find the right way to get graphical and game data into the game. This job requires good coding skills, but the ability to help our artists with advice, timely bug fixes, and feature education is also critical.
Candidate profile
Our motto is “we’re all adults here.” We value candidates who don’t need to be micromanaged. We’re an equal-opportunity employer and we welcome candidates from all backgrounds. This particular position puts a premium on production savvy – the ideal candidate will be wise in the ways of game production, able to spot potential problems before they get in the way and providing the insight to help a small, agile team compete with AAA behemoths.
